ABOR HILLS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 67 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABOR HILLS , a
tract
  of country on the north-
east
  frontier of India, occupied by an independent tribe called the Abors. It lies north of Lakhimpur
district
 , in the province of eastern Bengal and
Assam
 , and is bounded on the
east
  by the Mishmi Hills and on the west by the Miri Hills, the villages of the tribe extending to the Dibong river. The
term
  Abor is an Assamese word, signifying "barbarous" or "independent," and is applied in a general sense by the Assamese to many frontier tribes; but in its restricted sense it is specially given to the above
tract
 . The Abors, together with the cognate tribes of Miris, Daphlas and Akas, are supposed to be descended from a Tibetan stock. They are a quarrelsome and sulky race, violently divided in their political relations. In' former times they committed frequent raids upon the plains of
Assam
 , and have been the
object
  of more than one retaliatory expedition by the British government. In 189394 occurred the first Bor Abor expedition. Some military
police
  sepoys were murdered in British territory, and a force of 600 troops was sent, who traversed the Abor country, and destroyed the villages concerned in the murder and all other villages that opposed the expedition. A second expedition became necessary later on, two small patrols having been treacherously murdered; and a force of Too British troops traversed the border of the Abor country and punished the tribes, while a
blockade
  was continued against them from 1894 to 1900.

Dalton

Ethnology
  of Bengal, 1872.
